If you're only twelve Oliver, you need to read this: https://www.goodreads.com/about/terms.... - scroll to #5.

And what you post needs to be relevant to the thread heading, and I don't think Gangsta Granny Strikes Again! is on NetGalley for request.

Helen I was finally approved for The Mademoiselle Alliance and I also deleted my request yesterday and have you heard anything?

If your parents manage this, I'd advise them of what I linked you.

Thanks Kylie!

Meg (megscl) | 326 comments Netgalley have just changed the file format of all their books!
It is now not compatible with kobo! I'm so angry and disappointed. I just spent hundreds of dollars on a kobo (3 weeks ago!) because it was compatible with netgalley and now they suddenly do this. 😭😭😭

Contact them Meg. They say if you have any problems to be in touch. They would probably have a work around. Good luck!

I did. They said it's no longer compatible with kobo and just told me to read on my phone


message 2467: by Bec (new)

Bec | 171 comments I just got an email about the changes to the formats. I’m a kindle reader so no impact to me but I dislike the publishers that don’t send to kindle (Harper Collins Australia -but the UK stream do!) so I feel your pain. Reading on a phone is not enjoyable for me.

Just a warning for readers of Fiona McIntosh I just received an email inviting me to read The Orphans by Fiona McIntosh The Orphans, which was originally published in 2022. They don't have notification that it's a republication, and it's not showing on NG at the moment, when I browse. I don't want to click on their link as I'll go to the "read it now" part.

So basically, if you've read it already, don't get it, if you haven't it's a perfect opportunity to read an excellent historical. Storm Publishing is the publisher when it is posted for all :)

Here it is - The Orphans by Fiona McIntosh


message 2488: by Bec (new)

Bec | 171 comments Oh I haven't read it so I hope it becomes available for us all!

Brenda | 79969 comments Mod
I'm sure it will Bec. Keep an eye out - it's a fabulous read!


message 2490: by Helen (new)

Helen (helen57) | 3400 comments I got that email as well but agree for those who haven't read it, it is really good
